A protein marker is just that - a marker for specific proteins. This usually deals with running an experiment (assay) to determine the presence, absence, and with some markers, abundance of a specific protein. For example, you can use a protein marker to mark an extracellular protein such as a Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on bacteria. The marker would specifically bind to LPS, and induce some type of visual response, IE a color change for example. Purely hypothetical, you could add some LPS marker to bacteria which you are questioning to have LPS on their cell surface. After addition of a colormetric marker, you could use ultraviolent light to see color changes in the places where LPS is present. Likewise, if there wasnt any protein present (LPS in this example), then there would be no color change and the cells would look normal as if nothing happened.

∙ 13y agoTo first locate and then to Identify [mark] its biologically unique Target.
Target specificity is determined by the marker protein's 3-D Conformation.
Marking is typically done using [slightly] radioactive atomic tags.
For example radioactive phosphorous, P32, has a half-life of 2 weeks.

Afterwards a Macromolecule called A Miltwerk composed of co2 and h2o takes the H+ atoms down a electron transport chain. Lastly it enters the JBieber realm in skyrim and twerks with Miley Cyrus

What is the cell surface marker?
The CD system is commonly used as cell markers in immunophenotyping, allowing cells to be defined based on what molecules are present on their surface. These markers are often used to associate cells with certain immune functions.
Function of recognition proteins?
they enable cells to communicate with one another. It is possible due to cellular adhesion molecules on the surface of the membrane. They also distinguish foreign cells from self cells.
What type of molecule is used as marker to help similar cells recognize each other?
A carbohydrate is used to help mark cells. This carbohydrate sequence is unique for those cells.
A specialized function shared by the many cells lining the lungs and the lumen of the gut is?
A specialized function shared by the many cells lining the lungs and the lumen of the gut is increased exchange surface provided by their membranes. Interstitial fluid provides for the exchange of materials between blood and body cells.
What is function of the HA protein of influenza virus?
Haemagglutinin (HA) is a surface protein on viruses which assits the virus in attaching to host cells.
What is the function of human epitheal cells?
Epithelial cells found on the surface. They cover the and line the free surfaces.
What is the function of the marker protection?
The function of the marker protection is to predict potential AIDS vaccines efficacy. This is taught in health.
What is the cell surface marker?

What is the function that identifies the data marker for each series in a chart?
The legend is the function that identifies the data marker for each series in a chart.
What is the function of villi cells in the intestines?
the villi vastly increases the surface area for the absoption of food.
Where is flagella formed?
Flagella is formed outside of the cells in the human body. Their main function is to allow liquids to move past the surface of these cells.
What secretes mucus onto the surface of the epithelium to capture dust particles in the trachea?
The goblet cells have this function.
Function of recognition proteins?
they enable cells to communicate with one another. It is possible due to cellular adhesion molecules on the surface of the membrane. They also distinguish foreign cells from self cells.
CD4 stands for what?
The CD stands for 'cluster of differentiation' and is way to categorise some of the cells that are part of your immune system. CD4 is T-cell and is the most important immune marker for monitoring HIV.
What identifies cell type?
cell-surface marker
How cells structures relate to it function?
Its structure determines the function it has. For example, red blood cells are biconcave discs, kind of thinner in the middle and thicker around the outside. As it turns out this is the ideal surface area to volume ratio for exchanging things between the inside of the cell and outside. When you consider that the function of red blood cells to carry oxygen to the cells of the body the structure of the RBC is ideally suited to its function.
Which of the following is a major cause of the size limits for certain types of cells?
the answers is the need for a surface area of sufficient area to allow the cell's function
